I just got the black diamond .50 cal. it's sweet. I'm using 2 powder pellets, and using 245 gr. balistic tip bullet. It also say's for magnum power use 3 powder pellets. What would u do. I'm already sighted in with the 2 pellets at about 100 yrd.

My opinion is that 150 grains is pretty much a waste, especially with expensive pellets. I would leave it at the two pellet load, that's plenty of power. I'm sure the two pellet load is very pleasant to shoot as well. 3 might not be.

Would also recommend you consider loose powder in the future, especially if you want to find the load your rifle really prefers, accuracy-wise.

I'll second the opinion that 3 pellets are pretty much a waste and they do cause a kick like a country mule. I can shoot the three pellet 150 grn loads, but I get a lot of bullet "sailing" with each shot. In my humble opinion, 150 grns is overkill.
